Byron Minnie is gebore en groot geword in Oudtshoorn in die Klein Karoo en is tans woonagtig in George. Sy inspirasie om 'n kunstenaar te word is grootliks te danke aan sy familie wat hom heeltyd aangemoedig het om te begin optree. Byron het later sy passie met plaaslike kunstenaars en vriende gedeel wat die kunstenaar gemotiveer het om homself in die musiek professie te vestig.  Van 'n jeugdige ouderdom het Byron gehou daarvan om in alle musiek genre te sing. Byron is ook aspirante liedjie skrywer en het in Desember 2018 sy eerste CD onder die naam B-Minor vrygestel met sy eie oorspronlike liedjies daarop. Die CD is op alle digitale platforms beskikbaar. Kort na die vrysteling van sy eerste CD het Byron dadelik weer skouer aan die wiel gesit en begin opneem aan sy tweede album wat hy beplan om voor die einde van die jaar beskikbaar te stel. Hy het ook onlangs ‘n enkel snit “Beter as jy” bekendgestel wat ook op alle digitale platforms beskikbaar is. Tydens sy kort loopbaan het Byron die geleentheid gehad om verhoë met bekende kunstenaars wat gehore van alle ouderdomme trek te deel. Kunstenaars waarmee Byron verhoë al gedeel het is Jakkie Louw, Juan Boucher en Francois van Coke.

I love music, and what it means to everyone.  Each song I do, is from my heart.  I started my solo career in 2009, but have been involved some way in the entertainment industry since 1999.  I had a 6 months solo spree, when joined RusHour for 7 years. Moved to Pretoria and had a solo career for the next 5 years before moving to Sedgefield and continued my solo career.  Every show I do, is a break away from real life, a break from the everyday battles.  Fun, emotional, happy and entertaining.

   I was born with an unquenchable passion for music.  At the age of 12 I taught myself how to play the guitar and from there I joined our church youth band and played for four years until I relocated to Mosselbay. My entertainment career started at the age of 16 where I performed at various Forever resorts around the country. 

    2008 was a very special year for me as I wrote my very first song titled Baby se Brief , followed by Path of Love. I recorded my first 14 track CD in 2011 and a few of the songs from my first CD can be heard on radio, such as Sweet Lips, Grassade (as made famous by Dozi, originally composed by Stef Kruger), So Is Jy Vir My,  Ek Verlang Na Dit & Lielatjie. 

    I have also been privileged to have had Stef Kruger write a few songs for me such as Grassade, Punt & Gerugte which were chosen to debut on my first album. I won royalties to 52 songs written by Stef during a Southern Cape song writing contest, hosted by the legend himself 

    I have been invited by many well-known South African artists to be the opening act at their performances, these artists include: Steve Hofmeyer, Kurt Darren, Chris Chameleon, Pieter Koen, Jakkie Louw, Emo Adams, The Campbells and many more. Other performances include: ABSA KKNK, Whale fest, Serengeti festival, Baobab festival, Tobie festival, Kraaki mossel festival and Dias festival to name a few.  Jakkie Louw launched a competition where he toured the coast and gave local singers the opportunity to compete for the opening spot at each of his shows. I won the opening rights to the George performance. 

    I took a break from my music career due to personal reasons and I started making my way back to following my dream in 2018 after a five-year pause. During 2018 and 2019 I performed part-time and in 2020 when lockdown struck, I decided to focus solely on my music career. I currently have regular venues that I perform at and the music I play varies from golden oldies to the hits of today as well as my own songs. I am busy recording my second CD and it is quite a leap from my first one in terms of genre, and I am having an amazing time growing and expanding.

    Etienne's music career started off when his father gave him an old guitar while he was in grade 8. Etienne never stopped making music after this. He formed his first "Hard Metal Rock" group Denizen, in 1995 and participated that year in "Battle of the Bands" in Stellenbosch, and also at Woodstock in Oudtshoorn. Etienne writes his own songs, and has since the beginning.[citation needed]

    The very successful rock group Goose Gap was founded in 2000. Etienne's peak with this group was their popular song Sugar Me Up Lollipo, which became a hit in South Africa. During this time he also played with groups such as Not My Dog, Wonderboom, Springbok Nude Girls and Prime Circle. In February and March 2004, Etienne was the lead singer for the band Cutting Jade when they went on a nationwide tour, because their previous singer had left the group.

    My sangloopbaan het as klein dogtertjie begin. Ek was een dag saam met my ouers by‘n konsert van Francois Heyns. Ek het op die verhoog langs hom gaan staan en begin sing en dis daar en dan wat alles begin het, my ouers kon my nie weer daar afkry nie. See less

    Haar sangloopbaan het as klein dogtertjie van 7 jaar oud begin.  Sy was een dag saam met haar ouers by‘n konsert van Francois Heyns. Sy het op die verhoog langs hom gaan staan en begin sing en dis daar en dan wat alles begin het, haar ouers kon haar net eenvoudig nie weer van n verhoog afkry nie.  Sy het begin met sanglesse by ontslape Tiny Oswald Vermeulen as dogtertjie van 7. Hy skryf vir haar‘n hele paar Gospel songs wat sy toe in 2003 opneem. Oom Tiny het ons ongelukkig in 1998 verlaat.  Sy het as hoërskoolleerder in die koor gesing en ook by verskeie kerke sangbediening gedoen.  Sy het ook deelgeneem aan sang kompetisies en ook by feeste soos KKNK gesing.  In 2001 neem sy aan n sangkuns kompetisie deel en behaal ‘n A-simbool, sonder begeleiding of mikrofoon. Kry hoë graad vir duidelike uitspraak van woorde wat min vroulike kunstenaars in ons land het.

    Sy het ook al verskeie voorshows vir verskillende kunstenaars soos Tobie Jooste, Nic Stevens, Gerhard Steyn, Tashia Vermeulen, Wynand Windpomp en Jo Black gehou. Die hoogtepunt in haar loopbaan was beslis die een van Jo Black, Maroela media het 'n berig oor dit geskryf.  In 2011 reël sy en sangeres Tashia Vermeulen Olivier ‘n liefdadigheids vertoning ten bate van die Gideons Bybel verspreiding en samel geld in vir 350 Bybels. Met dié optrede kry sy 'n rol in ‘n Christelike fliek met die naam ‘Die Erfgenaam’.

    Hazel het al die jare gesing onder haar regte naam Chriszelda Botha en toe later toe sy getroud is as Chriszelda Steyn, maar dié naam het net nooit aanklank by die publiek gevind nie. In April 2021 sê haar sangervriend Daan-Louis vir haar om eerder 'n stage naam te kry. Hul sit toe koppe bymekaar en Hazel Stone word op 26 April 2021 gebore. Dié naam het betekenis, want sien, Chriszelda het die mooiste bruin bokkie oë en is baie lief vir neute, vandaar die naam Hazel en Chriszelda het 'n baie swaar lewe al agter die rug wat haar hard gemaak het, vandaar die van Stone. So Hazel Stone werk perfek en die ense/publiek love dit. Dit klink mooi op die oor.  Volgende jaar beplan sy 'n nuwe enkelsnit en musiekvideo.

    Stewart started his musical endevors at a young age, playing in different bands as well as being a solo artist.  For most part playing in a band with his father Leon Wilson. 

    Which is how he met Lucy when she walked into a place where Stewart had a gig.  After realising their similar ideas in music, as well as a back to basics mentality.  Takhaar was born.  To preserve the essence of music through love and honesty, harmoniously creating joyful moments together.  

    We would describe ourselves as an old school rack and roll folk band.  Blindy faithful in the same fate that led them to Takhaar
